The Geographical Variation of Colour Change in the Arabian Killifish (Aphaniops dispar Sensu Lato) From Freshwater and Marine Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Widely distributed animals may exhibit substantial plastic physiological, morphological and behavioural responses to environmental changes. One such extraordinary form of plasticity is colour change, which varies substantially among most taxonomic groups.

The Montage Image Mosaic Service: Custom Image Mosaics On-Demand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The Montage software suite has proven extremely useful as a general engine for reprojecting, background matching, and mosaicking astronomical image data from a wide variety of sources. The processing algorithms support all common World Coordinate System (

Toward a more realistic holographic QCD model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
By matching the $Dp-Dq$ system in type II superstring theory with the Regge trajectories of vector and axial-vector meson spectra, a possible 5-dimension metric of a $Dp-Dq$ soft-wall model has been determined.

Serological Benefit of SARS‐CoV‐2 Vaccination Relative to Infection in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of severe outcomes from SARS‐CoV‐2 (SCV2). In the post‐pandemic context, where most children have been infected with SCV2, there are limited data on whether vaccination remains beneficial in children with ALL.

Scorpionfish adjust skin pattern contrast on different backgrounds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
The two scorpionfish species Scorpaena maderensis and S. porcus are well camouflaged ambush predators that rapidly change body colouration to adjust to background colour in less than 1 min.

A Cost Effective Base-Matching Assay with Low Backgrounds [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1996
Base-matching or so-called mini-sequencing is a powerful technique for genotyping and mutation identification. However, its application is often hampered by high background and high cost. We have decreased the background by approximately 5-fold by incorporating an end-blocking step and using only 1/10 of the usual nucleotide concentrations.

A system for person-independent hand posture recognition against complex backgrounds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A computer vision system for non-independent recognition of hand postures against complex background is presented. The system is based on Elastic Graph Matching (EGM), which was extended to allow for combinations of different feature types at the graph ...

Deep Sequencing of FLT3‐ITD Enables Response Evaluation and Post‐Treatment Monitoring in Childhood AML: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An internal tandem duplication in the gene encoding Fms‐like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3‐ITD) is associated with high relapse risk and poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and plays a crucial role in treatment decisions. Measurable residual disease (MRD) analysis of FLT3‐ITD during and after treatment has shown prognostic ...

Nesting behavior, egg morphology, and breeding biology of Harwood’s Spurfowl ( Pternistis harwoodi ) in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology
This study aims to understand the life history of the endemic Harwood’s Spurfowl ( Pternistis harwoodi ) including reproductive, behavioral, and spatio-temporal variability of traits for the first time in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia.

Scorpionfish rapidly change colour in response to their background

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2023
Background To facilitate background matching in heterogenous environments, some animals rapidly change body colouration. Marine predatory fishes might use this ability to hide from predators and prey. Here, we focus on scorpionfishes (Scorpaenidae), well-
